The Resident Evil 5 Trailer is Sooooo Gooooooood!!!

Nice, except for the voice-over

2009 ??!!!

Do you want it fast or do you want it good?

why is nobody excited about umbrella chronicles? it looks absolutely choice

because i only just heard about it, from you :)

This might be the game that sells me a PS3 or 360 (hopefully by '09, I'll be able to get one for, like, a hundred bucks, rite?).

Pretty impressive. But I'm wondering, how come in this day and age of motion capture and 20 million texture and bump-mapped polygons, game characters still look and act like thunderbirds puppets?

Uncanny valley!

Uncanny valley works in favour of RE titles; the more people look like zombies the better

This looked pretty neat.

there's something a little weird about watching that trailer, or is it just me? all those shots of a muscly white guy slaughtering african villages got me queasy, zombies or no

Yeah, that part of it definitely bothered me.

it's haiti, fwiw

Resident Evil 5 is SO RACIST: The idiocy begins

http://www.destructoid.com/resident-evil-5-is-so-racist-the-idiocy-begins-37196.phtml#comments

that is the dumbest shit i have ever read.

yep.

the village voice article and comments are actually reasonable and intelligible.

like, wau

oh god this comment is gold:

I can't wait until your next article calling for the removal of all pool tables in the country because we can't have a game where a White ball pushes all the colored balls off the Green Earth table... can we?

there are so many fucking violently stupid comments both there and on all those idiot game blogs ARGH.

I reminds me of the reaction to San Andreas. Oh no, black people and guns in a video game? Time to write an article!

Surprised no one mentioned that part in Vice City where it says "Kill all the Haitians!" onscreen during a mission.

i think what bothers me most about this game is having to play as that fag chris redfield

there are so many fucking violently stupid comments both there and on all those idiot game blogs ARGH.

otm. fanboys of any stripe really fucking suck. no perspective about anything. "you raped my childhood whaaaaaaaa"

i'd like to play a video game where you are george lucas shooting mobs of pissed fanboys and when you beat the game you shoot yourself.

eh i went off on a tangent there...

video games, lb, video games

*breathes*

300 isn't about anything maaaan, it's just awesomeness piled upon awesomeness, don't take it so seriously.

ok it sucks then.

what? how dare you, it's a masterpiece of style and frank miller is a genius.

eat my balls.

no you east my balls.

gladly *chomp*

NOOOOOOYYYEEAAAHHHHH THAT IS WONDERFULL

they made that george lucas game, it was called POSTAL

THAT movie looks kind of awesome actualyy

Ste that's from a Chris Rock routine i believe

this is obviously hell of racialist, but at the same time i can't not find it hilar.

I as a man of color played resident evil 4 set in Spain. Which included gunning down hundreds of spaniards.Where was your critic then.

the post and comments about this at Destructoid have reminded me why I mostly can't stand that site.

ha, I didn't even see the link to the old D-toid article 'til right now.

I love over-the-top gamer defensiveness.

I can see why ppl be offended < I will play the shit out of this

If it looks good, I'll play it. but shit, I still haven't finished either of the RE4's that I have.

this is like the only game that could get me to buy a new system.

it's THAT racist.

haha

New trailer http://www.gametrailers.com/player/34647.html

http://blog.wired.com/games/2008/07/hands-on-reside.html

"Political Correctness strikes again."

GAWD, I HATE political correctness, it's so awful - now I might have to consider that other races might live on the African continent and have to kill them in this video game, too! I don't want to think about this stuff while I'm playing a video game. Curse those kneejerk PC liberals for ruining everything!

...classy.

thanks for that!

THE PROFESSIONAL GAMES BLOGGER IS LOWER THAN THE EUKARYOTE

the controls... they are so dated

The Resident Evil 5 Trailer is Sooooo Raaaaaaaaaaacist!!!

czn - did the Japanese demo have an option to select the new control scheme too? There are supposed to be two schemes now - the new one being more western, right (not that I really mind the old one)

um... the so-called "shooter" control scheme? it defaults to that, I think; I did notice you could strafe (but not strafe and shoot)

I'm in two minds; do I really want resi. evil to adopt dead space/GoW controls and lose some of its flavour but add finesse control or do the 'broken' controls add to the game's tension and character and ultimately make it more resi?

I tried out the demo, both maps solo and didn't make it to the end of either. As a try-out, it didn't completely sell me on the game, but also it didn't seem as broken or as poor as some people are saying. Since I just finished 4 on the Wii though, I have to say, I miss the ease of aiming for headshots with the wiimote. It's definitely harder to aim with just that thin red beam as your guide, especially at targets further away. The graphics are definitely an improvement though, really sharp. It's also cool that this time around your a.i. partner helps out instead of just standing behind you uselessly i.e. Ashley in the last game. I sort of like selecting your inventory stuff in real time, it keeps things moving faster. Have they said if you'll be able to upgrade your weapons like in the last game - as in the demo they seemed underpowered?

I love how RE5 looks, but there is no way I could possibly play a game that scary and realistic. I was getting stressed out almost immediately.

you find money, so i assume you'll be able to upgrade weapons. i hope they have the exact same cheesy arms dealer running around.

i played the demo and at first i was terrible at it, i'd totally lost my RE4 chops, but things improved. one of my friends is getting it on march 13th and i've cleared my schedule for a weekend of co-op and pizza, high school style, no girls allowed.

what's up with the control scheme thing? it didn't seem much different from RE4 to me.

so turns out they've put the GoW controls in and you can now move and shoot (not in the demo btw)

o_O

i know that might be sacrilege to some folk but really i can't fuck with the older resident evils because of the whole standing still to shoot stuff.

i don't mind it, but it is a totally different style of play (me playing RE4 usually involves a lot of running away, trying to get my back against a wall). hmmm.

http://www.capcom-unity.com/resident_evil/blog/2009/02/02/rumor_control_no_run_and_gun_in_resident_evil_5

ahhhhh thankig u

i'm relieved

Yeah, having to pick your place to make a stand is pretty crucial in any RE game.

ugh i tried playing the demo and i couldn't deal with the controls at all... camera, too; i could never tell if there was a guy like one foot away from me if he wasn't right in front of me. real-time weapon selection is fine in theory with me but the fact that you have to press a button to call up the weapon selection overlay, hit the d-pad to select the weapon you want, hit a button to "officially" select the weapon and THEN choose "equip" in real time is a total fail to me.

the racism engine is stunning tho.

hahahahhahahahaaa

pressing a button to pick up ammo is full on fail

isn't that how it always worked?

did it? maybe its the extra "pick it up for partner" one that annoyed me.

they really should release a second demo that doesn't suck. i still think that much of the reason that dead space wasn't a huge hit was that shitty demo. (well, and to be fair, shooter + no multiplayer seems to be a recipe for disaster these days)

playing this now ^_^

what's it like?

i'm reading awful things elsewhere, but they are based on the demo.

if it really doesn't have any puzzles then it's useless.

i don't know, RE4 didn't really have any puzzles, did it? i want setpieces, not puzzles.

yeah and i hated it for it, otherwise it was a great game but i don't just want to see more of the same standard shooting stuff. i own a friggin ps3 which is supposed to be an awesome machine, i don't want all it's power just concentrating on visuals i want some sodding game content too.

resident evil puzzles were always kinda lame anyway. re4 was all thrills, and i'd rather have that than push around statues or whatever.

anyway from the demo it seems like the "puzzle" element is going to be trying to figure out how to get places/things by using both characters.

lol

not played that much yet, and the part from the demo is near the very start anyway, so not much to say about it. I haven't played a Resident Evil game since 2 so I'm pretty awful thus far. Mainly got it just to annoy my bro who is a fanboy and won't be able to play it for over a week!

on friday i'm going to a friend's house and we're going to see how much we can get through before i have to go home the next evening

next fri obv

been through a few stages and no puzzles yet. Finding it a bit boooring.

dogs are ridiculously hardcore, and i keep running out of ammo. Obviously the latter is sort of the point.

where did you get ittttttt? coughtorrentscough?

newsgroopz

I tried the demo and the controls were terrible - milisecond-lag when trying to turn (and forget turning around), and an iterminable 'look/aim' control mechanism.

there's a cutscene in this of Wesker doing bullet-time bullshit in a long leather coat.

man, this really is not what I want from a Resident Evil game. Hectic action. Shooting from a turret mounted on a jeep. Zipping around in a fucking airboat.

worst thing is i'm probably just about finished it now but will have to go through it again playing it co-op on live with my bro as well.

ok, now a boss incredibly analogous to when you're on the boat fighting the giant worm thing in Gears of War 2. FFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUU

Edge scores in the new issue:

Resident Evil 5 - 7
50 Cent: Blood on the Sand - 7

hahaha

There is utilisation of cover in this game. Sweet jesus.

oh hey there's a bit where you use a satellite gun.

tonight's the night, i'm going to milwaukee after work, picking up a pizza, and going for a solid 10-12 hours of shooting shit, co-op style.

The reviews for this are pretty lukewarm.

you're lukewarm

don't ruin this for me guys

For what it's worth, I put a lot more stock in what people on ILG think than what I read in Gamespot or etc. Curious to hear what you think of the game.

Just finished the first chapter. So far I'm liking it. The art seems especially good. No problems with the controls for me either. If I were to nitpick the first chapter, I'd say it didn't flow particularly great, as it felt a little choppy (broken up into too many small parts (for loading?)), and the end fight seemed to go on to long. I felt like I was doing something wrong, but I guess you just had to shoot a lot of guys and survive for a long time. Most everything felt very familiar, having just recently completed RE4. I do like having a partner who actually does something instead of just following you around helplessly. Inventory management seemed a little tricky, but I'm sure I'll get the hang of the new system.

I think it's great

how's the racism

The reviews for this are pretty lukewarm.

i love how these days this means "1 reviewer out of 10 gave it 70% instead of 90%"

gameplay: 7/10
racism: 5/10

j/k i haven't started it yet, will report back with the official racism score later

come on in, the racisms fine!

not racist enough

omg i need an xbox 360 right now
i had no idea this was coming out so soon
i figured i still had a year or so to wait

^^ sigh

i go buy now! white power!

we got to chapter 6-1 in about 10 hours, and then right at the moment where i was considering rescheduling band practice so i could play for another hour, there was a disc glitch and the game had to be restarted (not from the beginning, just from the last save). seemed like a good time to cut out.

it's really just RE4 + co-op & racism, nothing felt wildly new, but i still had a blast playing through it. the best parts were the pitch-black tunnels where one of you has to hold the lantern and this part where one character has to go to an upper level and push a cart off a ledge while the other snipes off the army of lickers that are pouring out of a hole in the wall.

"it's really just RE4 + co-op"
well, if it aint broke...

I found someone at a party the other night with this and he agreed to play through it with me so i don't have to worry about buying a 360
yay

eh, did a post get deleted here ?

ignore me, thinking of another thread

one question, how long is this one compared to 4 ?

seems about the same, although technically there are a few more chapters.

well, if it aint broke...

yeah exactly, RE4 is one of my favorite games ever so i'm not mad at it.

I was gonna stick up for it being not that racist, but then I got to the hovercraft level

lol

oh man i just got the idea to look up re5 on st0rmfront etc :(

60racistincidentsps

I think zombies on dirt bikes transcend race, personally.

the records page should tot up your hate crimes tbf

how about spear-throwing african tribesmen?

xp

I was gonna stick up for it being not that racist, but then I got to the hovercraft level

i'm re-reading the RE4 thread(s). it was a more innocent time.

this game is GREAT btw, another one where we couldn't trust the reviews

this game is amazing
it's better than 4 because you can kill tha zombies with a buddy
(single player probably not better but i haven't tried it)

the reviews have been mostly great - this attitude is what leads to video game rating inflation d00000d

Also I think it's fair to rate lower a sequel that doesn't do anything different from its predecessor when other games have allegedly surpassed said predecessor.

I'm sorry for leading to video game rating inflation : (((

shaming u

I haven't played any RE games before. Should I get this?

the slow and stupid controls are compensated for by the slow and stupid AI.

lol

I still want to know what happens on the hovercraft level!

Co-op is great! Played it last night with a friend.

(Also, yes. This game is very racist.)

I demand a thorough explanation and racism analysis from the gaming internetosphere with screenshots and videos, seeing as how I doubt I'll play this game for years, if ever.

What games do you think have surpassed RE4, hi dere? (note that I have none of the current generation systems) Do you mean stuff like Gears of War or have better survival horror games come out?

dan, basically you roll up in a hovercraft and start gunning down spear-wielding, face-painted, bone-wearing african tribesmen/women.

some of them are really tall and hard to kill btw.

omg lolololololololol

What games do you think have surpassed RE4, hi dere? (note that I have none of the current generation systems) Do you mean stuff like Gears of War or have better survival horror games come out

I have no personal stake in this as I haven't played any of the games in question; I'm just going off of reviews, which frequently mention Gears of War. Also, from everything I've read/heard, Left 4 Dead is currently the gold standard for survival horror shooters.

I think the major issue is that even if the plot itself isn't racist (a nerd friend tried to defend it to me as it's not that the African men and women are evil, but that evil corporations feel they can experiment on them with impunity), it's visually hard to square with a history of racist imagery. Not to mention that unlike, say, Code: Veronica and earlier games, the zombies are pretty conscious. They talk, think, use tools, etc. So it's not like you're killing zoned out body husks. You're killing zombies who more or less are very aggressive, stupid, thoughtless human beings. Ie: Various stereotypes about Africans going back. It reminded me of those passages of Heart of Darkness that always come out in PoCo lit classes.

btw i've realized that the stand & shoot system that so many people seem to hate is probably the reason i love these games. when i've tried gears for war or whatever it seems like too much, i'm always running around trying to deal with a ton of controls. i'm sure i'd get used to it, but it fits my old-school mentality better to run away, find a spot to make a stand, and concentrate on aiming. it seems more "realistic" too, for whatever that's worth.

Also, from everything I've read/heard, Left 4 Dead is currently the gold standard for survival horror shooters.

It's really a different animal entirely. RE4/5 are the sort of game where you're like FUCK I ONLY HAVE TEN BULLETS FUCK FUCK FUCK and Left 4 Dead is like FUCK THERE ARE EIGHT MILLION ZOMBIES ATTACKING ME (but I have plenty of ammo).

There is dead space in the running though as well. I havent played RE5, but if it is not absolute garbage, they really need to start thinking harder about how to choose game demos, because that demo made me totally not interested in buying this.

dunno what it is exactly but all the RE games, on some 'feel' level, slot in right next to all the FF games as being flimsy tedious garbage to me

Dead Space! That's the other one I was forgetting. (like I said, I don't play these)

although the more i think about it my frustrations did mostly come from mechanics. locked in place shooting and pressing a button for ammo pick up are just straight up outmoded now, and any talk about how its an integral part of the strategy of the game just sounds like weak-ass justification for a lazy design team to me. xpost

i thought RE4 was kind of great, esp the wii port*, but i have hated every other RE i've played, so maybe im just not their target audience.

* note: not the dumb waggle-your-wii-stick to escape the boulder old school track and field bullshit tho. that sucked.

I thought you'd be a big fan of waggle-your-wii-stick

(oh total aside, do you have Wii Mario Kart? I just got it for my dad and told him he could race ppl online with it to entice him to hook his Wii up to the network, so if you have it maybe you could spend some time pwning him)

ocked in place shooting and pressing a button for ammo pick up are just straight up outmoded now, and any talk about how its an integral part of the strategy of the game just sounds like weak-ass justification for a lazy design team to me.

vs

i thought RE4 was kind of great

i mean, RE4 would not have been the same (great) game if it was a run & gun FPS

well yeah but it also came out 4 years ago.

dude, i don't consider this to be an outmoded game mechanic

http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_5F6ZzyFV8mY/SQHfwWmfLRI/AAAAAAAAAIE/C2b8lI2PkEA/s320/NES_Super_Mario_Bros_1.44133833_std.png

howabout 'in real life it takes a certain amount of distraction from your previous set course of action to pick stuff up'

imagine you automatically picked up every portable article you came within it a foot of in real life, it's be pretty annoying

i think enabling shooting-whilst-moving in RE would be okay as long as it was less accurate and therefore entailed ammo wasting

problem is if it's still using shouldercam to aim (which works fine with me) then the controls are set up wrong, and you'd have to have a second set of controls for shooting-whilst-moving. which would feel a bit broken.

again im making this argument solely from the demo (which suuuuuucked, and im assuming was unrepresentative since you dudes dug it), but there were just so many things wrong with it (lumbering zombies with idiotic AI, that infuriating pick up ammo for your partner nonsense, no apparent reason for certain events to end they just kind of did) - still, the point is that the game just felt uncompetetive with the other stuff that is out there, outside of really stunning graphics, and RE4 didn't. also the tension was just off, and the "uh oh zombies" moments were so telegraphed and awkward and unexciting.

im sure that the game as a whole must have its merits, but all the demo did was show some glaring faults.

xpost: re: reality of picking stuff up - well yeah but dude theres lots of stuff in video games that sacrifice realism in favor of not being boring, and really when yer shooting a bunch of crazed african zombies that a multinational corporation has poisoned with magical infection of undead juice, we arent really operating in the combat sim territory to begin with.

and actually, if you wanted full on item picking up realism, those moments where you pick up ammo for your partner should have been accompanied with a "tap her on the shoulder and hand her some bullets in the middle of a firefight" minigame i guess.

the Wii version of this should require you to throw your Wiimote at the television to kill the zombies

"within a foot of", no it.

looked at some clips on the internet: this is one of those games where some poor soul has been tasked with creating a boob-jiggle algorithm, which kind of makes me want to play it less. (wesker's chest otoh looks like it is made of tin)

xpost yah but 'press x to pick up the green herb' is setting the boredom barrier pretty low, it's not like you have to play a picking-the-green-herb-up QTE or anything

double xpost ha oops.

and again, DUDES I HAVE NOT ACTUALLY PLAYED THE GAME YET so it isnt like im speaking from some great position of expertise, i just know that some shit about what i saw of the game drove me nuts.

xpostssss

theres probably a great thread in trying to get at what level of realism people expect from games, because lots of times when that line gets crossed (either way) is when the all caps RANTOTHONS start flying.

i played co-op, but we did yell at each other when we picked up each other's ammo (ie i always used a shotgun so i had dibs on shells, and he covered the machine guns and rifles). we'd have to find a safe place and trade. so yeah, it was pretty realistic!

xp

"theres probably a great thread in trying to get at what level of realism people expect from games, because lots of times when that line gets crossed (either way) is when the all caps RANTOTHONS start flying"

i was thinking about this earlier when i was killing some low level enemies for item drops in the most recent castlevania and got really annoyed about the 'if there is poison there is ONE type of poison IN THE WORLD and it SCALES ACCORDING TO YOUR MAXIMUM HIT POINTS' rule, actually. because obviously two minutes later i realised how retarded it was that that was the deal-breaker.

the classic example is one of the LOTR fighter adventure games where there's a run-away-from-the-encroaching-flames challenge and you have to take the long way around these 8" tall stone barriers because lol there's no jumping in this game! or stepping up too high apptly.

having something like auto ammo pickup seem ok to me; about as ok as being able to carry 1000k shots of each of the 9 guns you're currently carrying. but not being able to shoot while walking? i don't understand how that is a satisfactory experience. you have to have enough signifiers of real life in order to be scared, right?

in my limited gun-shooting experience, it's hard enough to have good aim while standing still, much less while running.

not for super soldier zombie killer dudes tho - the whole point of "combat" handgun shooting is to develop the ability to shoot while moving.

jjjusten, did you play the dead space demo? cuz srsly

yeah good point, i thought the demo was crap and then when i bought the game after hearing raves from ILG it was great so obv i am open to having my mind changed. altho with dead space the problem was more throwing you into the middle of something with zero context, almost seemed like they just grabbed a random spot and just chopped it out. the things that bug me about the RE5 demo seem more systemic i guess.

yeah in fact this is what i said about Dead Space

oh yeah and i think the shitty shitty demo probably did more to keep people from buying this than it did to enhance sales. totally unrepresentative of what makes this game great.

― VISION QUEST TO KNOCK YOU UP (John Justen), Tuesday, December 30, 2008 4:10 PM (2 months ago)

which is maybe the same problem with this. i feel like sometimes the demos are just plain lazy or selected by dudes that dont know how to pick the right thing because they're too involved or something.

i bet they just have deadlines and are forced to put out a demo before shit is ready

dead space demo came out like a month after the game which made it especially wtf

for those thatve played it is this better or worse than left 4 dead? im kinda tempted but at the same time ive got a bunch of games hanging around unplayed already and i dont want to cop this and end up w/it half finished

re5 - slower, prettier, srs buisness, encourages co-op
l4d - faster, more fluid, campier, nearly demands co-op

the over the shoulder controls and stop & shoot would be fine except I've already had two fights that require you to run around, which is totally retarded because 1) you have to run away from boss-guy and then when you have enough room, turn around and shoot and 2) you can pretty much run circles around a zombie without them touching you as long as you don't stop moving.

l4d is kinda all time top 50 but I found it too stressy and time-consuming so I punted it; the game is funnnn but just too much

re5 is slower and bite-sized so you can get on with your life and also play it

eh sounds like ill wait for a lull in my to play list before i cop this

didnt re4 have that awesome mechanic where you could do an instant 180 turn? does 5 have this?

yup

it would be pretty much impossible without it

pretty hard to be sufficiently racist w/out tbf

1UP: This is something I haven't really discussed with you before, but some places are starting to focus a lot of time on the race aspect of RE5. In short, some people think that there are racist elements to this game. Not necessarily a hatred-type of racism, but more of a sheltered perspective -- an ignorant type of racism. The last time I checked, there were black people in Africa, and you do present a pretty diverse selection of enemies including people who appear to be of Muslim persuasion, although to be fair, there are parts where you do meet some shocking "tribal Africans" with spears. I could see how some people might suggest that this is an African nation as viewed through the eyes of a Japanese developer, but you said that you've gone to Africa, visited these places for research, and tried to present a realistic blend of people indigenous to the game setting. What is your reaction to the buzz going around?

JT: It's just like you said, and I think because you've played the game and you know what's in it you understand where we're coming from in the making of this game. I hope that everybody understands that we didn't set out with the intention of making anything racist. Naturally, I think if people were to make that type of game, that would not be a good thing. We are in the business of making entertainment and the elements in the game are a natural result of that.

^^^i'm pretty sure none of those sentences actually mean anything?

ugh

you can't make this shit up.

1UP: Did you just keep saying, "Hotter. No, hotter. HOTTER." (Laughter) Did you have an actress or anything in mind as a reference point? As in, "She's got to be Beyoncé hot."

JT: What we were going for was not Beyoncé-level hot, but hotter than Angelina Jolie. We had so many variations of her face. We had a lot of versions where the only thing changed was that her lips were 5mm bigger or 10mm bigger.

skin slightly lighter, slightly darker

this guy evan narcisse had a good article on crispygamer about the racism 'controversy' in re re5. then i looked him up and he has a blog called 'the freedom suite' and he's writing a book with mos def! he is my new favourite videogames journalist.

why is it a 'controversy' in quotes and not a controversy, no quotes

um, because i haven't seen it mentioned outside the videogames media yet mainly

also because it's all kind of absurdly straightforward. thinking about it i should have said hoo-hah, no quotes. or folderol, no quotes.

um, because i haven't seen it mentioned outside the videogames media yet mainly

except for the ny times? :>

i like that crispygamer article btw, it's the first sensible one i've read.

Oh, plus some flashback has now become a whole playable chapter or something? Dunno, didn't play the original RE5.
